Some of New Jersey's sludgiest death metal bands, 'Choker' and 'Jesus Wept' passed through Philadelphia as part of a three day weekender in support of their new split EP. They were joined at Century Bar by 'Since the Fire', 'Tartarus Horde', and the incredible tech powerhouse 'Irrita'

Counterparts passed through Philadelphia on July 31st as part of the 2019 Pure Noise Tour. The Canadian melodic hardcore act brought a powerful mix of deep emotion and intensity to the Theater of the Living Arts, playing a fan pleasing mix of new and old tunes, including a new track off their upcoming album called "Nothing Left To Love". Never a disappointment, Counterparts is a must-see live performance for fans of metalcore and hardcore. Their most recent release, the "Private Room" EP, is available via Pure Noise Records.

In Spring 2019 'The Black Dahlia Murder' joined Swedish progressive metal legends 'Meshuggah' on a brief US tour, stopping at Hammerstein Ballroom on May 16th. The pair shredded the stage with equal parts brutal aggression and technical mastery, and the packed house of passionate fans had no problem matching their intensity. The Black Dahlia will be touring the US extensively throughout September and October, so if you are a fan of fast shredding black metal do not miss the chance to see them live!
